Congressman Moran (D-VA) said "Bernanke is worried about an audit of the money supply" 
Posted by AlexanderVA on 06/09/09 10:40 AM
On Saturday, a Campaign for Liberty member and I attended the Armenian Festival in Old Town Alexandria on Saturday, June 6th to hand out flyers regarding H.R. 1207.
At the festival, Congressman Moran gave remarks regarding the festival. After he finished, we rushed up to him to ask for his cosponsorship of H.R. 1207.
Congressman Moran replied how he met with Bernanke on friday, June 5th regarding an Audit of the Federal Reserve. Moran told us that "Bernanke is worried about an audit of the money supply". He did not indicate his cosponsorship, but the fact that two constituents asked him gave pressure.
I hope everyone in Alexandria, Arlington, Falls Church, Reston continue to put pressure onto Moran to cosponsor H.R. 1207.
